Today a great longing came/over her for her beloved Denmark, so /putting on her hat she called her little/dog, 'Come', she said 'We will walk in/the meadows, you and I, and see the wide sky which is just like Denmark and/the year was 1908/Helen Layfield Bradley 1975' (on card, framed in a separate mount)
